HUNTER GIBSON

Hunter began studying music at the age of six. A native of Jackson, Mississippi, Hunter played in many local bands as a teenager, and in 1982, while working on a Business degree at Belhaven College, he began performing as a solo artist. After graduating from college in 1985, Hunter became a full-time musician, playing in Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Illinois, and Texas, as well as his home state, where he soon developed a loyal following.

In 1989, Hunter recorded his first album, ďThe Unopened Door.Ē It received regional radio airplay, especially in Mississippi, and the self-produced effort received national attention for its production.

ďFountain of Youth,Ē Hunterís second release, came out in 1993. Its first single ďKymberlyĒ started receiving airplay on Jackson station B95.5, and within the first week, it was the fifth most requested song, competing with national hits. His latest CD ďThe Home SessionsĒ came out in 1998. It continues to receive local radio airplay.

Hunter also has a six-piece band called Hunter & the Gators. They celebrated their 10th anniversary in July of 2001. They specialize in dance music with lots of harmony. They all sing lead vocals as well as back-up. They were nominated for best pop group in the Jackson Music Awards in 1999.

Hunter also writes and produces TV commercial music, industrial video scores, and radio jingles. His work has received several Addy Awards. In 2001, he composed and recorded the theme music for ďChasing the Dream,Ē a nationally broadcast program on The Outdoor Channel.

PerformancesHunter has performed in hundreds of restaurants and nightclubs throughout the South. He also entertains at wedding receptions, private parties, fraternities, sororities, and he has opened for and performed with such artists as Greg Allman, Better Than Ezra, Starship, Percy Sledge, Tom Keifer (from Cinderella),Irma Thomas, the Radiators, and Fingers Taylor and Mike Utley (from Jimmy Buffettís band).

Hunter is considered a "one-man band," playing keyboards, guitar, and harmonica, with the rest of the instruments recorded on mini-disc, all programmed himself. Hunter communicates well with his audience, always getting them involved and encouraging requests. His songlist consists of over 700 songs from the late fifties to the present.
